Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation Sania Nishtar, unveiling the Kafaalat card with Quaid’s picture on it, lauded the prime minister’s “bold decision” to depoliticise welfare project.
She said Prime Minister Khan himself gave a go-ahead to removal of pictures of political figures from the card.
“It was decided that Quaid-e-Azam’s picture will be on the cards in future,” she said while talking to a private Tv news channel. She added such initiatives were used for political gains previously but the current government has decided to purge state institutions of politics.
Quaid’s picture on the card is the evidence that the government would stop the use of state institutions for politicking, the SAPM stressed.—INP
